Natalie Beard joins the podcast to talk about flexible work, Utility Warehouse, saving money on household bills, and building extra income around family life.

Natalie has lived in and around Bishop’s Stortford since she was five. After taking redundancy from the NHS, she became self-employed and now helps people look at their household bills while also supporting others who want to build a flexible income from home.

We talk about why flexibility matters for parents, how Natalie first became a Utility Warehouse customer, how the business model works, and why even a small extra income can make a difference when family costs keep stacking up.

Natalie also talks about Florence Walk, The Residence at Wickham Hall, and why working for yourself does not have to mean doing it alone.
